13-Year Old Jamie Edwards Builds Nuclear Fusion Reactor [Video]

Jamie Edwards, a 13-year-old schoolboy has become the youngest person in the world to successfully carry out atomic fusion. He was able to collide two hydrogen atoms together into a helium atom in his science laboratory at Penwortham Priory Academy, Preston, Lancashire, UK.

The British boy Jamie was inspired by the 14-year-old American nuclear scientist Taylor Wilson, who produced nuclear fusion using a fusor in Nevada in the year 2008. His head teacher Jim Hourigan and friend George Barker also helped Jamie to build this nuclear fusion reactor.

Watch the video below and amazed with the record breaking ‘star in a jar’ experiment by this nuclear prodigy Jamie Edwards. For more details, you can visit Jamie’s Fusion Project blog.
